Great position, very welcoming

Stayed here for one night on our trip from Sydney to Adelaide. Great location, walk to everything robe offers. Robe a lovely town, only wish we could have stayed another night. Bed was the most comfortable we had slept in on our travels, of all the best westerns we stayed in including a very modern/new one in Victoria. Martin and his wife very friendly and helpful, DVD library is amazing even if we didnt get to use it. All the latest films. Room although small was adequate for our stay, very clean and stocked with essentials. Would recommend it highly and have done so. Would definitely return if we get back to oz again.More

Hi susannejj, Thank you for your lovely review of our property we really appreciate it & we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We try very hard to keep up the maintenance & the cleanliness of our rooms & we obviously succeeded in your case. We are in a great position in Robe being a short walk to all the restaurants & the beach. Our DVD library is a great hit especially for those days when the weather is inclement. Once again thank you & we hope we see you again.Kindest regardsMartin Stanley

I can see the owner works very hard to maintain the upkeep of this motel it must be a nightmarebut he's is doing a fantastic job

I stayed in a standard double BUT lets call a spade a spade,its very old,the room was very small and the bathroom is a joke. To even be considered any more than 3 stars is a jokeAre we talking value for money here or because its very very clean and the manager is a nice blokeAny accommodation should be very clean weather its $70 or $270 per nightI consider the $120 per night is way over priced for the standard room

My beef is that a Best Western 3 plus star rating motel should not be made out to be something it's not

All the best to the owner/manager I can see you work very hard to keep the place in the best condition possibleI will NOT be contacting Best Western

Room Tip: NOT value for money

Hi olmate, Thank you for your review of our motel. Best Western has absolutely nothing to do with the Star Rating of a property. This is independently carried out by AAA Tourism on behalf of the motoring bodies. Our assessment by them was done in March this year & we maintained our 3.5 star rating. We know we have an old motel & as the lessee of the buildings we are at the mercy of our landlord for major improvements to the property. All we can do is maintain & ensure the cleanliness which you acknowledge. As far as the price of the room is concerned we are comparable with the other motels in Robe. Whilst it is labelled a "Standard" room it has more in it than most other standard rooms. i.e. Queen bed, two seater lounge, table & chairs, microwave, electric jug, toaster, mugs, bowls, plates ,knives, forks spoons, water glasses and wine glasses as well as Reverse cycle air conditioning, electric blanket on the bed, 25 channels of TV plus a DVD player. There is also a Free DVD library with over 400 DVD's and Free WIFI to all rooms and we are in arguably the best position in Robe with only a short walk to restaurants & the beach. Most of our guests consider that great value for $120. Cheers Martin StanleyMartin Stanley

We arrived on a squally wet afternoon, something not unusual for Robe we believe. The manager was friendly and amusing and suggested a DVD from his library as a good way to spend a rainy evening. We were amazed to find some of the very latest films, including one we particularly wanted to see.

He showed us personally to the room which was large, very well equipped with an extensive kitchen area and good bathroom. We bought a roast chicken, frozen veg and chips in the local store and had a good meal. Then, pulling up the sofa in front of the TV, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Melaleuca.

Next morning the weather was glorious and Robe looked a different place. We spent time walking around the headland and only reluctantly got into the car to continue our journey.

Hi David M, Thank you for your great review of our mote it is really appreciated. Our DVD library is just the thing for those wild & woolly nights we sometimes get in Robe. We do show each guest to their room & show them how everything works in the room. We believe this personalised service sets us apart from the other accommodation properties in Robe. The walk around the headland is one of the icons of Robe and shouldn't be missed as the views are sensational. We thank you once again & hope you enjoyed your stay in our country.Kind regards Martin Stanley

We loved our stay in Robe. This motel is well located. It was the cleanest, best maintained, best equipped place that we stayed in. The apartment was a good size and we had access to a free DVD library. On site laundry was helpful. Staff friendly and helpful.

LAst stop on the road from Melbourne to Adelaide and by far the best.Great location right in the middle of town with the beach and the shops/restaurants 2 minutes walk away.Room was very clean and comfortable and perfect for our overnighter. Great selection of DVDs , free WIFI and the on site laundry was a great help halfway through the trip.Manager Martin was very welcoming, funny and full of good local knowledge.The circular walk around the coast is well worth the effort.Didn't have breakfast due to good choices in town.Lovely place, great location and excellent value plus personal service.As for Martin, I owe him a dollar as he is old enough to be my father.

Hi sl43, Thank you for your great review of our motel. As you say we have a great location within 2-3 minutes of shops, beach restaurants. Our laundry is a great setup with two washing machines & the tumble dryer only costing $1 to use. There are even clothes lines out the back to make doing the washing even cheaper. Our DVD library consists of over 400 movies and there are over 100 children's movies as well. Incidentally I'll collect the $1 next time you come!!Cheers & kind regardsMartin Stanley

We went to Robe and had originally booked another motel. We good there and wernt happy and left. Martin kindly gave us a room (where we had relatives staying) which was clean, spacious and tidy. Martin and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. Has a lovely area for a BBQ.Highly recommend to anyone staying in Robe!!
